I'm currently in Mosbach now and have settled down in my new house. And, today I just got the time to film my apartment with me alone at home! I'm staying with the landlady (Mrs Bengsch) and her daughter, another 3 Germans studying in BA and Kenny who moved in last weekend. Before I moved into this apartment, I did not expect much, just having internet will do. Never did I expect the apartment will be neatly organised and its great designs! I am very satisfied with the apartment and that it is a blessing to get sucha nice apartment in a single room with wireless internet. Most imptly, I am well-treated by the landlady and her daughter. They are very easy-going and friendly. I couldn't expect anything more from them. (:

During the past 2 weeks, besides having bored orientation in school for 3 days, Charlotte (my landlady's daughter) brought me and the 3 of us out! :D Last Saturday, we went to an old castle, an old town and ludwigsburg castle. Though we did not go into the ludwigsburg castle since we went into many castles during our past excursion trips, we did drop by to take quick pictures of the castle. It is the most beautiful castle among the rest that we went. We shall go there during the Spring period. Anyway, we went shopping around Ludwigsburg and Charlotte drove us to Kaufland to buy groceries before going home. We dun have to carry the heavy groceries back ourselves.
On Monday, Charlotte brought me and Zhiyin to join their Belly Dance lesson. It was fun as we imitate them while they dance. We were warmly invited by the rest of their dancemates even though we know nothing about Belly Dance. Ytd, she brought us to attend Fasching which was organised by her friend. She bought the ticket especially for me even before I moved into the house! The fasching was an eye-opener for us. They have many performance lined up and surprisingly, we were invited on the stage as we were the only internationals there. The feeling was great when you are warmly welcomed by all the people there. We also took a few pictures with a few of them who wore special costumes. There were people role-playing as criminal, wicked witch and priest. The priest looks so real! Haha. Though I have not seen a real one but I've seen it on films. The fasching lasted a little too late and I was falling asleep during the last few performance.
I must say Charlotte is really lovely. She helped us find and plan our outing when we wanted to go Stuttgart on Friday. She jotted down all the train schedules and drew me a map of where the shopping area is. I shall plan something for her at the end of my stay here. (: Maybe I can try cooking our local dish using the spices that I brought here. Heh.

We did not wear the same designs on purpose!
Speaking about Stuttgart, the four of us and Cat(rin), our friend from Texas, we went to Wilhelma Zoo on Friday since the Negotation exam is postponed to next Fri! Europe's biggest Zoological Garden as stated in the Negotiation case study. Haha. At first, due to the constructions, we were quite disheartened but when we walked further in, we were amazed by how near we can get to the animals. You can literally walked into their habitats because there was no barrier! Can you imagine we can actually touch the penguins with our bare hands! The animals in the zoo seems so happy, unlike those in Singapore Zoo. Well, they should be happy since they have such a good life there with nice habitat and good food. I guess the visitors will also feel happy to watch the birds chirp happily and animals chewing on their food so happily. And, one thing that I observed.. Unlike all the other animals, Monkeys behave very humanly. When you look into their eyes, you know what they are trying to say. When they are bored, they will lie down with their chin on their hands. I never know monkeys behave like this. Now, I really believe maybe in the past, humans are really monkeys. Well, well..

Don't they look like humans? Look at their fingers!
Other than having outings, Zhiyin and I with 3 other internationals (UK, US & Finland) went for Aerobics organised by BA Sports on Tue! While it was free, we get to exercise instead of storing fats everyday. (: I think I underestimated their aerobics. It was so tough! I had Aerobics back in Singapore a few years ago and it wasn't that bad! Rah. I really need some vigorous exercise. I am going next tue! Hah!
I just joined Facebook a few days ago though I rejected joining many times. The only reason that I joined is because I dun wanna lose contact with the internationals. They only have Facebook, that's why. Well, it wasn't that bad afterall. It's kor's fault! He always plays games on Facebook that I thought that Facebook = Playing Online Games. While I need some time to explore my Facebook, I'll upload some photos up when I'm free. Currently, I'm still using myphotoalbum to upload my Germany photos. I've just updated them. (:
To all my friends who are taking Exams tmr:
GOOD LUCK! :)
Dear has gone to Philippines with his classmates. He shld be back by Thur. Perhaps, it's time to talk things out. And I'm doubting this sentence below:
"To love, for us men, is to clasp one woman with our arms, feeling that she lives and breathes just as we do, suffers as we do, thinks with us, loves with us, and, above all, sins with us". - Baroness Orczy
I need an explanation.
